A banking app for millions
We’ve teamed up with Saudi National Bank to design their next-generation digital banking app. And we did it in a record time.
In the world of unprecedented speed of innovation
The Middle East is one of the fastest growing markets in the banking sector and as the population gets younger and more demanding, traditional banks need to move fast to keep up with the fierce competitors.
After the merge with Samba, SNB became the largest financial institution in the country and unveiled new vision and branding. Their old mobile app was primed for a complete overhaul.
